video promo

how can I put a video promo up top instead of the promo pictures?

Administration > Settings > Basic Settings. You can have the promo area be replaced with a HTML block.

But the HTML editor in the admin panel will remove everything that does not relate to basic text or basic image displaying. Does anyone have a site that uses video in the promo area that was set up using the HTML editor?

You can click the HTML button in the text editor's toolbar, which brings up a window to enter HTML directly.

Don't waste your time trying to do this in admin.  You should make the changes to page_1.html in your template directory.  The default code in page_1.html is:

<bx_include_auto:_sub_header.html />

__promo_code__

__page_main_code__

<bx_include_auto:_sub_footer.html />

Replace the promo code template key shown above in red, with your custom code.  Then you can add all the supporting files to your template directory.

Thanks Houston, thats exactly what I tried to say.  The HTML editor in the admin page (that is accessable by clicking the HTML button in the text editor's toolbar) does not allow indepth HTML code. You need to get right into the ftp code, and even then it flicks back and forth between HTML and PHP.

Yea thanks again guys I tried that html editor and nada, I will try this next! Again thank you sooooo much guys. Tjis place is awesome for support!
